The merged CLARITY Act runs on one invented term: the ancillary asset, a token sold with a securities offering that is not itself a security. Here is where the concept came from, exactly how it works, why a16z tried to…

The CLARITY Act does not need a majority of the Senate. It needs 60 votes, twice, under a rule written in 1917, and the difference is why crypto legislation keeps dying with majority support. Here is how cloture actually works,…

Two developers went to prison-facing trials over four words in a 1970s-era framework: what counts as transmitting money. The answer decides whether writing DeFi code is a regulated financial business or protected publishing, and Section 604 of the CLARITY Act…

For a decade, a token’s legal status was whatever the SEC eventually sued it into. The CLARITY framework flips the default: projects certify their own maturity, and the government gets 60 days to object. Here is how the machinery works,…

Crypto spent fifteen years arguing the ledger is the truth. Tokenized securities quietly reversed it. The token in your wallet is a receipt, and a company you have never heard of keeps the record that actually decides who owns what.…

A stablecoin depeg is not one event. It is two very different events that look identical on a price chart, and confusing them is how traders lose money on coins that were never actually broken. The word stablecoin contains a…
